46james46 Posted June 26, 2013 Posted June 26, 2013 Hey guys! My car is on tein springs atm, but I want more lows! I don't think my car looks lowered :-/ it's annoying me! I can't really afford to be spending 600+ on coilovers, but can't find springs that are lower than 40mm?? Can anyone help?? Quote

Weyro Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Cut a coil off the springs Edited June 28, 2013 by Weyro Quote
46james46 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Is that not illegal and will fail mot? Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 ^^^ no aslong as the spring can't come free I cable tied a set I done on an old escort I had wouldn't advise it as it makes it such a harsh ride Quote
46james46 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Ahhh right! Learn something new everyday haha! Gonna have to save for coilys I reckon :-( Quote
DavidAshton Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 TEIN's are well known for not lowering Starlet's. Seen it many a times. Some cheapo 40mm springs will see it lower than your current setup. Spax or PI used to be the brand a few years ago now, I image they are still around. Don't go cutting springs, you will probably end up in a ditch. Quote
akyakapotter Posted June 28, 2013 Posted June 28, 2013 I'm sure people keep putting the gt ones on as mine sat quite low with glanza tein springs Quote
46james46 Posted June 28, 2013 Author Posted June 28, 2013 Yeah I seen spax, they're pretty cheap like £112 or something! How much you reckon I could get 2nd hand coilovers for? Gonna take ages to pay 700+ for a new set Quote
